Integral Yoga Training for Youth and Members of the Juvenile Justice System

A comprehensive Yoga Training was conducted for 6 youth deprived of liberty and 14 psychologists and educators from the Specialized Care Center in Tunja, Colombia. The training builds capacity within the Specialized Care Center to contribute to the management of aggression, anxiety, and improvement in the quality of life of the youth and those who support them. The 20 participants are the first cohort of youth and professionals from the Juvenile Justice System trained as integral yoga instructors. The youth now have a new alternative for a productive life that promotes peace and environments for personal growth and coexistence in their community.
